Second E-Book Exclusive “Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel” Side-Book Announced, “Billy the Kid and the Vampyres of Vegas”

Random House and author Michael Scott, a renowned fantasy author and authority on mythology and folklore, have announced a second e-book exclusive story set within the best-selling “Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel” series: Billy the Kid and The Vampyres of Vegas: A Lost Story from the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel (what a title!). Scott’s first forray into e-book exclusives within his successful universe was The Death of Joan of Arc: A Lost Story from the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, which hit e-readers last summer.

According to the official press release, Billy the Kid and The Vampyres of Vegas will introduce readers to the tale of Billy the Kid and Scathach’s first meeting, and their joint battle against the unseen yet deadly vampyres who control the city of Las Vegas. This should make an interesting addition to Scott’s universe, as both Billy the Kid and Scathach have grown to play significant roles within the series.

Here’s the official description from the author’s website:

Years before Sophie and Josh Newman met Nicholas Flamel, two legendary warriors fought together for the first time. Billy the Kid and Scathach the Shadow. Now that lost story can be told…

Are you looking forward to this e-book side-story? Would you prefer to see stories like this published physically as well as digitally?

Dear Lytherus visitors: Our seven year journey as a fantasy and science fiction blog has come to a (hopefully temporary) end.

There you'll be able to find familiar voices writing book reviews and reporting on the latest fandom news. We're not closing the door on Lytherus for good, as it's a project many of us would like to revisit in the future. For now, we encourage you to head over to Shurtugal.com to continue the adventure. Thanks for a wonderful seven years, and we hope to see you again soon!
